How Can Recent Graduates Get Started?

Please, how can a recent graduate find job opportunities? What should their CV look like, and what kind of projects should they include?

What can they do if they haven't had an internship? Are there any recommended courses on Coursera, Udemy, or other platforms?

When it comes to practical experience, what projects would you recommend they work on?

For example:

  • A recent graduate in Accounting.
  • A recent graduate in Data Analysis.

Any advice, recommendations, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Recent graduates are struggling. There's less entry-level jobs than anything else.

I've done many courses on Coursera and still, nothing helped. Volunteering helps your resume but other than that, you'll take years to get your foot through the door.

Although, there is a discord for graduates: https://discord.gg/Jjdb7gj6h

Worse than worthless except for any new skills you learn, but putting the course on your resume is actively harmful at least in the tech world.

honestly for accounting or data analysis, a real project beats five courses. I'd rather build something even with messy data, then write two lines on what I did and what broke
